I think San Diego/southern Cal would be the biggest market for the Big12. I like our chances and if we play Texas or Oklahoma I bet your butts would be at the game. If the Big XII were business men they will select SD, SLC, Orlando and Cincinnati to expand. Top 50 TV markets and its opens recruiting into areas beyond the Midwest. Plus it allows for a confernce championship game on national TV (under today's rule.)

it would be interesting if we ended up in the Big 12... however, I would not be surprised to see the other teams start jumping ship once they league started to expand, similar to what happened with the big east.

Buried in an article on June 10,2014 (read this while looking for more stuff on J-Rod)
From CBSSports.com "By then (2021-2022), facing Pac-12 opponents, even in San Diego, will be old hat for the Aztecs. After taking on at least one Pac-12 opponent each of the past three seasons, San Diego State now has a Pac-12 matchup on its schedule for each of the next nine seasons, all of them in home-and-homes.
Playing home games in an NFL stadium in the middle of California's fertile recruiting grounds would appear to have its scheduling benefits, we're guessing."
Earlier in the article, it was mentioned that things change all the time, so this might too. One of those things would be a Pac-12 or Big-12 invite.
G^3! (Go Good Guys)

He was pimping SDSU big time in the 4th quarter saying SDSU has a lot going for it and should be looked at very seriously for inclusion in a P5 conference. I heard the same. Was priceless PR all around. I believe! GO AZTECS!!! #BelieveTheHype #Win20 #BeatFSU
It only makes sense which is not that common out there. It is the Pac 12 or nothing.

Yeah, keep telling yourself that. The PAC 12 clearly wanted Colorado because of their on the field results. After all isn't Boise in a pac 5 conference? The Pac 12 took Colorado in retaliation for Texas backing out of joining the Pac. So said the Pac12 commish.

Idk, I'm could see B12 going for ECU, Cinci, BYU, Boise first. They don't have to look West at all ... they could find 4 teams East of the Mississippi to add ECU & Cincy being the first two -- they'd be in no rush to add more as long as WVU was happy with the adds. I'd agree, and mostly because those teams win.

So the Big 12 can take us as retaliation for the Pac 12 making another run at Texas in a few years.

I really don't think this is the end of the conferences whittling down to the elite few. it may just become the Power Conference with a West, North, south, and East consisting of 12 teams each. then a playoff with the top 4 teams and 2 wild card teams going to a playoff.

If the Big XII were business men they will select SD, SLC, Orlando and Cincinnati to expand. Top 50 TV markets and its opens recruiting into areas beyond the Midwest. Plus it allows for a confernce championship game on national TV (under today's rule.) As long as WVa remains in the Big XII, they will not expand westward.

To our poor fortune, I fear that that is probably correct.

Beating UNLV at home does not by itself warrant an invite to the P5. SDSU's on the field results have little to do with whether they will get a P5 invite. Tell that to West Virginia, Utah & TCU. On the field performance doesn't have everything to do with it but it certainly is a big factor. If SDSU had accomplished what a Boise State had done over the last decade (performance wise) we would already be in a P5 conference.

The only reason the BIG XII added the mountaineers was because the TV networks (for some unknown reason) wanted them. Terrible add.

Utah who had a couple bcs seasons and a bunch of mediocre ones, if on field results mean everything than BYU would be in PAC 5 right now. Utah's fan support was far more important, academics didn't hurt either.

All I know is I am sick of the Power 5 c)Rap. Sick of having Media Hype Winston and Florida State #1 NO Defense Seminoles in my face. Getting sick of College Football I am right there with you. I continue to support SDSU athletics though. When it is that I go down this path with my thoughts, I allow my good old friend Leonard Cohen to console me with this, one of my favorite tunes of his: Everybody knows that the dice are loaded Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed Everybody knows that the war is over Everybody knows the good guys lost Everybody knows the fight was fixed The poor stay poor, the rich get rich That's how it goes Everybody knows Everybody knows that the boat is leaking Everybody knows that the captain lied Everybody got this broken feeling Like their father or their dog just died Everybody talking to their pockets Everybody wants a box of chocolates And a long stem rose Everybody knows

They said they are not looking west. Cincy and somebody else most likely. They aren now getting 32 million each why would they add four teams. Boise has lost its luster.The only way I see us getting in is if they take BYU and we get our act together next year in football ad have a top twenty team. Maybe a couple years of that will do it.

Not true. A school with good academics located in a large metropolitan area with lots of TV sets may not get a second look if they routinely win only 3-5 games a year and displays little or no institutional interest in building a winning program. A school whose academic and location factors are favorable but has only a middling on-field performance (such as 6-8 wins a year) may be given favorable consideration for P5 membership, but one that seldom wins even half its games has no chance. If you don't think so, just take a look at Temple University.
Obviously, a school that is strong in all the areas mentioned and in addition has a healthy average attendance is going to be at or near the top of any P5 expansion list. Unfortunately, SDSU is deficient in two of those critical areas: no signature wins (I hear the Colorado St. Rams laughing at us after their win at BC) and poor attendance.
